Prints on Canvas

The Giclée has is a type of high quality, high resolution inkjet print using fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment-based), and archival substrates primarily produced on specialised large-format printers. These printers use the often use a seven colour ink process; this increases the apparent resolution and color gamut and allows smoother gradient transitions. A wide variety of substrates are available, including matte and gloss photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl.

Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.
